TL;DR:
"The meeting was called to introduce the company to a new set of more aggressive recruiting tactics and to encourage those attending to reach out to their networks to help recruiting with referrals. The summer interns had recently arrived at the studio and were in attendance at the meeting. A few of the female interns were sitting close to myself and one of my female direct reports. The presenter flipped through a few slides discussing recruiting and hiring at Riot… and then the final slide popped up on the screen in all caps. “Remember, NO DOESN’T REALLY MEAN NO” The presenter repeated the statement on the screen and let it drop like a punchline. The female college students sitting near me either looked around uncomfortably or stared into their laps unsure where to look. Awkward laughter from the room. I sat frozen, completely in shock. My direct report looked over at me, her expression one of disbelief."
A developer was "deeply disturbed" because an allusive joke about consent ("No doesn't mean no") was thrown around in a meeting about hiring more people.
Imagine being so sensitive over this sort of worthless trivial bullshit.

I read the whole thing, I’m glad someone posted the rape joke was about not taking no for an answer when trying to recruit from your network.
Would’ve it been better to say, if they say no, keep pressuring them until they agree to join
That would’ve been taken out of context also.
Don’t play their game of trigger them along the way and don’t back down when called out.
